I wouldn't do it in Kingwood because people drive to fast and don't really pay attention to anyone else
@Marhopper3:
Humble ISD does not provide bus service unless the child resides 2 or miles from the school.
My school, Bear Branch, was 1.94 miles from our house in Kingwood Lakes. I rode my bike or walked those 1.94 miles, crossing Kingwood Drive, everyday (uphill, both ways, in the snow, of course).
My folks left for work at 6am. I had to get myself up & ready for school. Was on my own til they came home sometime after 6pm. My older brother attended another school & was in no way responsible for watching me.
I ran the neighborhood all day, w/my parents having no cell phone to reach me on, but when those street lights came on, I knew to get my butt home..
It's a wonder I managed to make it out of childhood alive..
